Correa is the biggest name here, but it's obviously no surprise that the top prospect didn't crack the Opening Day roster. He'll begin the season at Double-A and could possibly push to debut before the end of 2015. Mar 29 - 8:36 AM

Astros recalled C Max Stassi from Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Stassi took a step back in Triple-A this year, batting just .246/.296/.378 with nine homers over 101 games. He'll serve as a third catcher for the Astros in September. Tue, Sep 2, 2014 01:21:00 PM

Astros catching prospect Max Stassi blasted his fifth home run of the season on Monday for Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Stassi has hit a home run in three consecutive games, and his season line is up to .279/.342/.588. He also has six doubles and has increased his walk rate. Stassi, who had a three game major league cameo in 2013, could be splitting time with Jason Castro sometime soon. Tue, Apr 22, 2014 10:05:00 AM

Astros optioned C Max Stassi to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

It's a bit surprising to see Stassi cut this early, but he wasn't expected to win the backup catcher job. Still, the 22-year-old should be back with the big club before long and has a promising future if he can avoid injuries. Mon, Mar 10, 2014 02:29:00 PM

George Springer will be examined within the next two weeks to see how his fractured right wrist is healing.

Springer has already missed four weeks of action and it sounds like he might be out longer than the six-week timetable that was given. The outfielder has been shagging flyballs and staying active, but he's "not doing anything really with his right hand," according to Astros manager A.J. Hinch.

Peacock suffered an intercostal strain in his first start and hasn't pitched in the big leagues since. He was close to coming back but suffered a setback during a rehab appearance on June 11. Johnny Cueto and Jeff Samardzija should be available if the Astros choose to upgrade their starting rotation at the trade deadline.

Samuel Deduno will undergo season-ending arthroscopic surgery on his right hip.

It's a labrum repair. Deduno was told in early June that he could probably avoid surgery, but the injury wasn't healing quickly enough on its own. It's not clear what the future holds for the 32-year-old right-hander.
